Skywalker OG — Harvest / Trim / Cure Part 3 — Trimming The First Giant First of all, once again, apologies for dividing this Skywalker OG harvest series into multiple parts. But honestly… there was simply no way to properly document this run without giving each phase and each plant the attention they deserve. These girls became something special. And with: * multiple giant plants * hundreds of photos * trimming timelapses * resin collection * curing experiments * and smoke reviews still coming later we wanted to slow down and properly catalogue everything instead of rushing through it. So now… we return: 10 days later. And the first Skywalker OG giant was finally ready. ⸻ The Click After hanging whole-plant drying for roughly: * 7–10 days * at around 18–20°C * with humidity stabilized near 60% * and the first days closer to 45% RH to safely remove excess surface moisture the moment finally arrived. That special branch click. Not bending anymore. Not soft anymore. That sound and feeling growers slowly learn over time: the perfect dry point before curing. And honestly? This girl dried beautifully. The flowers tightened perfectly. The aromas became deeper. The resin stayed everywhere. Exactly what we hoped for. ⸻ Trimming Begins So… gloves on. Medicine nearby. Scissors ready. Cleaning alcohol beside us. And branch by branch… we started. Slowly breaking down the plant. Separating branches. Taking individual flowers out carefully. Hand trimming every nug one by one. No machine trimming. No shortcuts. Just patience. And immediately one thing became obvious again: sticky. Very sticky. The dry trichomes instantly started gluing themselves onto the gloves. Every few minutes: * fingers sticking together * scissors becoming greasy * resin buildup everywhere The kind of trimming session where your gloves slowly stop looking black and start looking glossy. ⸻ Finger Hash & Resin Balls Naturally, as trimming continued… finger hash started forming again. But this time differently from the fresh charas we collected during harvest. This resin came from: dry trichomes broken loose during trimming and handling. Still incredibly aromatic. Still greasy. Still beautiful. But drier, more compact, and more stable than fresh charas. And honestly? Watching the little resin balls slowly form from pure trimming sessions never stops being satisfying. A grower’s reward during the work itself. ⸻ Moroccan Drums — Trim Bin Sessions As the trim accumulated, we also continued one of our favorite little rituals. Lightly working the trim material by hand almost like traditional Moroccan drum techniques. Nothing aggressive. Nothing industrial. Just gently helping the loose trichome heads separate naturally from the material. And honestly? This Skywalker OG was loaded. The Trim Bin kept collecting beautiful resin underneath the screen while we worked. And eventually… we pressed some of that loose resin together purely by hand pressure. No heat. No tools. No pressing equipment. Just hand pressure alone. And it immediately transformed into: a beautiful little temple ball. Soft. Greasy. Dark golden-brown. Beautiful texture. The kind of resin that instantly tells you: “This plant had serious trichome production.” ⸻ The Numbers Then came the moment everybody waits for. The final dry weight. And honestly… we’re still smiling looking at the scale. 369.9 grams from a single plant under 12/12 from seed. Absolutely insane. Especially considering: * minimal training * natural structure * relatively compact height * and mostly letting the plant guide herself naturally This girl became a true production monster. Dense flowers. Heavy branches. Massive yield. Excellent resin production. One of those harvests where you step back afterward and just stare at the pile for a few seconds. Because it honestly feels surreal. ⸻ Rock-Solid Medicine And the flower quality itself? Beautiful. These buds dried into: * dense * compact * greasy * heavy flowers Exactly the kind of structure we expected after seeing how swollen the plant became during late flower. The kind of buds that feel substantial immediately when picked up. No fluff. No air. Just proper medicine. And visually? Still gorgeous after drying. The calyx swelling remained. The trichomes stayed visible everywhere. And the flowers kept that heavy OG structure beautifully. ⸻ Storage & Cure At this point, preserving the cure properly became extremely important. So we divided the flower between multiple storage methods. Traditional Glass Jars The classic method. Simple. Reliable. Proven. Perfect for: * manual burping * visual inspection * humidity monitoring * and traditional curing control ⸻ Vacuum Glass Jar We also started testing one of the vacuum-style glass jars from Zamnesia. The idea here is reducing oxygen exposure during cure and long-term storage. Now we’re extremely curious to later compare: * terpene preservation * moisture behavior * aroma retention * and overall cure evolution between vacuum curing and traditional curing. ⸻ Grove Bags And honestly… there was simply too much flower not to use Grove Bags too. So part of the harvest also went into Grove Bags for longer-term curing and storage testing. Again, we’ll revisit all of this deeper later during the smoke review reports once the cure evolves further. Because right now the mission is simple: preserve the terpenes. Preserve the resin. Preserve the soul of the plant. ⸻ The Skeleton One thing we always love after trimming massive plants is looking at the final skeleton left behind. And honestly? This one was beautiful. Not an absurdly giant trunk… yet somehow it carried an absurd amount of medicine. Which honestly says a lot about how efficient these 12/12-from-seed plants can become. Compact structure. Extreme productivity. Minimal wasted growth. The Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy continue proving themselves. ⸻ Timelapses & Documentation We also included trimming timelapses in this report so people can actually see: * the workflow * the process * the resin buildup * the trimming rhythm * and what goes into preparing flowers like this properly Because behind every beautiful jar photo… there are hours of work. Hours of patience. And honestly? We love documenting that part too. ⸻ What Comes Next The next reports will continue with: trimming the remaining two Skywalker OG giants And honestly… there is still so much left to show. Which means yes: this series may realistically reach: Part 4 or even Part 5. And honestly? These girls deserve every slide. Every photo. Every detail. ⸻ Gratitude Huge thanks once again to everybody following this journey. To the growers. To the silent viewers. To the curious minds. To the supporters. To the old followers. To the new people arriving now. To the skeptics. To the lovers. To the haters too. To Zamnesia for these incredible genetics. To Plagron for helping feed this jungle. To Future Of Grow and Lumiflora for the LEDs powering this room every single day. To the entire growing community constantly sharing knowledge, mistakes, ideas, techniques, and passion openly. And honestly… being able to witness plants like this grow from seed into this level of abundance still feels surreal sometimes. These truly became: Legends of the 12/12 Galaxy. And their story still continues. From grower to growers.

So letzte Woche wurden die Ladys nur noch mit Wasser gegossen, diese Woche auch und dann geht’s zum trockenen 🥦✌️

The Diary would NOT let me add all the weeks to Harvest Separate, sooo,, Harvest upload has 3 ish Weeks , N The Smoke will have the last week and Harvest

I came back to the fridge after 6 days and stretch was running massively. They grew like 20cm in 6 days I changed my climate to: 27° C 60% rlf in order to adapt to early flower Day and Night same 45% light about 580ppfd Still running the water in a circle. Adjusted the scrog a bit in order to fill the space more They eat like 1100ppm CO2 an hour 😎 __________________ Update: last 2 videos show day 8 of flower ,🤙🏼 Decided to give them a heavy defoliation due to it being a closed loop system and them emitting tons of humidity. So far so nice 🏼

Flowering week 8 is done for my girls. The week went pretty smoothly, except for one issue that’s getting more obvious as the buds gain weight. On at least the three Critical Orange Punch plants, the branches are starting to give up and lean wherever they feel like, so the tent is a bit “lived in” right now.I did my best to support everything without making it a whole engineering project, tying branches together and pulling them into better positions. A scrog net would’ve helped, but with the tent upgrade and how often I’ve needed to move plants out for checks, it just wasn’t practical this run.Aroma-wise, this round feels noticeably sweeter than my previous Critical Orange Punch run, except maybe the Special Kush. Buds are a bit smaller, but they’re making up for it with resin, color, and overall intensity. Special Kush might be the least productive, but that piney note with a touch of lemon is seriously addictive.Parameters are stable, humidity is slightly high at around 55% to 60%, temps around 23°, and I’m keeping feeds consistent with low EC like I’ve been doing the last three weeks. I’m expecting at least two more weeks to go.That’s it for this week. Tips and opinions are always welcome. Happy growing everyone!

As you can see on the pictures, all seems to be ok except that the potting soil is maybe a bit too charged with nutrients: radish leaves are big and thin, the small NL plant is also a bit disturbed by this. This should get better with time. Tomorrow (Jan 08) I'll water the area around the NL5 with corn seed sprout tea. Goal being that with these growth hormones (SST) it'll be able to cope better with the super charged soil. The next step will be deciding which training technique to journey with: hst-mainlining (reg or quad) vs a more popular lst... @sensiseeds let me know if either is totally proscribed from your knowledge on how your genetics behave 😜. Patience wise, I can handle a slow growth, I want this to be fun and exciting. FYI, lights still at ~20% and 60 cm (2ft) from plant

Hi Growmies, As we reach the tenth week of nurturing our Epic Buzz, the plant's journey through the flowering stage is showcasing the dynamic nature of cultivation. In recent days, the Epic Buzz has hit a significant milestone, completing its vertical stretch—a clear sign that the energy will now be redirected towards budding along the colas. The structure of the plant, with its statuesque colas reaching upwards, is now set, creating an elegant scaffold for the buds that will soon start to form and elongate along these supportive spires. The Epic Buzz's voracious intake of water continues unabated, signaling a system in full swing, eager for the nutrients and hydration that will fuel the forthcoming bud development. This is a plant in its prime, with a root system so efficient and healthy that it brims out of its pot, a network of life that has become the engine for the lush foliage above. In observing the Epic Buzz, one cannot help but admire the visual harmony it presents. The symmetry of its growth, the healthy sheen on the fan leaves, and the promise of future blooms are a canvas of living art. The measured approach to topping and training earlier in its life has shaped a plant that is not just healthy but a delight to behold. I believe that with the stretching phase behind us, we can now look forward to the next phase where the buds will begin to form and stretch along the colas, promising an exciting period of development. The anticipation for the swelling and maturation of the buds is palpable, but for now, we focus on the promise that each new day of growth brings. This grow has been a labor of love, and as we transition from one growth phase to the next, my hopes for Epic Buzz continue to soar. I invite you to stay with me on this journey, as the coming weeks will bring the transformation we've been nurturing towards. Stay lifted, and keep an eye out for the next update, where we will witness the Epic Buzz begin to put on its floral display. Salokin

This week has went by ok beach ball is growing well new growth has come in pretty well the other plant is not happy with the pot slow growing plant

So... still rate of growth is not up to scratch and I dont know what is going on never the less they look nice and healthy, done a little bit of training this week but I just feel like I'm at a loss with the growth rate if any body has and pointers I'm all ears!? Thanks for reading and happy growing!

- BioBizz Light Mix soil - BioBizz Nutrients used according to their schedule - stopped LST

Ya en la recta final familia, están apuntito, solo unos días más. Nuestras lemon kush ya recibieron su lavado de raíces , están sin productos ya solo AGUA. Controlamos de todas formas el Ph igual y que no baje por debajo de 6,2. Bestiales estás flores , un olor muy característico con tonalidades cítricas que recuerdan al limón. Todo un clásico en verdad. Estos ejemplares carecen de brazos laterales, son óptimas para un SOG desde semilla, pudiendo llenar 16 plantas en metro cuadrado.

Week 8

Day 58 Stigma are coming out all over the place and you can see everything filling out really nice. Royal Kush is still a bit behind, but that is likely why she is the tallest of them all. With the pollen I collected from the Sour Diesel, I want to pollinate the Kush. Day 59 I decided not to start the pollination as I was going to spray with a slightly stronger concentration of Bioneem Oil. The aphids will not let up so I'm trying to increase the strength. Day 63 There are still aphids and I'm starting to think this Bioneem Oil is actually snake oil. I've held off on watering as the medium holds water so well. I'm going to have to rework my watering amounts.

Week 8 update (full bloom): The autos are now in full flowering mode 🌸 Buds are stacking well, pistils are everywhere, and trichomes are starting to show up. Stretch is nearly finished – now it’s all about building flowers. Nutrients this week: • Hesi Bloom Complex (base bloom) – plants are responding really well. • Hesi PK 13/14 introduced at low dose to push flower sites. • Athena Bloom + Athena Grow (light mix) to balance nutrition and keep a steady NPK ratio. • CalMag still in rotation at ~1 ml/L. • Silic Rock small dose for stem strength. • Total feed around 800–950 ppm, depending on the plant. Observations: • Canopy looks uniform and healthy – green leaves, no big issues. • Runtz shows the most aggressive bud growth – dense flowers already forming. • Amnesia autos a bit more stretchy, but flowers are catching up fast. • Mike Tyson slowly recovering from early stress, but now producing pistils. • Aroma becoming stronger – fruity and slightly spicy terps in the tent. Training: • Final LST adjustments to spread colas. • Light defoliation to open budsites and improve airflow. • From now on: minimal interference, just supporting the flowers. Plan: • Keep PK booster for another week, then evaluate. • Maintain bloom feed and slowly reduce nitrogen. • Watch trichome development – early frost is starting, but still weeks to go before maturity.

The two plants this week look like they are turning green again and the yellowing is going away so I think all is well

The buds are nice and chunky, completely covered in resin, and the terps are absolutely incredible 🤤🤤

30 deep and every single one is standing tall and at attention, I'll be transferring these girls into a 3 gallon pots at there 4 week period, I'm only watering these once a week and there doing great.
